Daily Itinerary

1

You’ll depart on the bus for your trip. When you arrive in Los Angeles, you will meet your tour manager.

You’ll stop at the Farmers Market which features more than 100 restaurants, grocers and tourist shops. It all began in July 1934, 18 farmers and merchants park their trucks on vacant Gilmore land, selling produce to local housewives. The idea was so successful that by Fall, the Farmers Market had stalls and shops, restaurants and special events. Today you’ll enjoy the variety of food options as you walk through the market. You can also shop or eat the adjacent shopping center, The Grove.

After lunch, you’ll take a guided tour of the city and you’ll see the famous Hollywood sign, Hollywood Boulevard, TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly Grauman’s and Mann’s Chinese Theatre), the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and more.

You’ll visit Santa Monica where you can enjoy the beach, the downtown area and the pier. Santa Monica Pier is one of California’s oldest pleasure piers. This famous pier is within walking distance of the Third Street Promenade and the newly refurbished Santa Monica Place Mall and offers one of the most spectacular sunset views in California. The Third Street Promenade is filled with shops and restaurants for you to enjoy.

After dinner in Santa Monica, you’ll arrive at your hotel and check in.

You’ll take a tour of Warner Brothers Studios. Go “behind-the-scenes” and “into-the-scenes” of your favorite shows and movies at The Warner Bros Studio Tour Hollywood. Tour guests are offered a rare and intimate glimpse into real Hollywood at work. This ain’t no theme park! The 3-hour tour give you an intimate look into various backlots, soundstages, real movie props, and costumes. No two tours are alike and guides take you to where the action is. Walk on to the set of a hit television show, watch as Foley artists create sound effects for movies, see how sets are constructed, sit on the real sets of your favorite shows such as Friends and Big Bang Theory, enter the Batcave to find various Batmobiles, and explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts series. We want to keep you learning and having fun.

You’ll have free time on Hollywood Boulevard. You’ll be right in the center of the action at the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hollywood & Highland Mall. The Walk of Fame comprises more than 2,500 stars celebrating the achievements of actors, musicians, directors, producers and others. At the TCL Chinese Theatre, you can compare your hands to those of some of your favorite stars including Marilyn Monroe, Jim Carey, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Will Smith and more! You’ll have a chance to visit the Hollywood & Highland Mall.

You’ll visit the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the world’s premier institution dedicated to the art and science of movies. Global in outlook and grounded in the unparalleled collections and expertise of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy Museum offers unparalleled exhibitions and programs illuminating the fascinating world of cinema. You’ll enjoy an immersive and dynamic experience and you will hear many stories of the movies—their art, technology, artists, history, and social impact—through a variety of diverse and engaging voices. The Academy Museum tells the complete stories of moviemaking—celebratory, educational, and sometimes critical or uncomfortable.

The Griffith Observatory is an icon of Los Angeles, a national leader in public astronomy, a beloved civic gathering place, and one of southern California’s most popular attractions. Located on the south slope of Mt. Hollywood, the Observatory lets visitors look through public telescopes, experience astronomy exhibits and enjoy the most spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign.

From there, head straight through Sleeping Beauty’s castle into Fantasyland, where most visitors can enjoy classic Disneyland rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant, It’s a Small World, and Mad Tea Party. Star Wars fan in your group? Then you won’t want to miss a visit to the newest land in the park, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Fly the Millenium Falcon on a smuggling mission, or create your very own droid friend at the Droid Depot. Keep exploring a galaxy far, far away in Tomorrowland where you can launch into the cosmos on Space Mountain or help Buzz beat Zurg on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. The fun continues throughout the other unique lands you’ll find within the park, such as Adventureland, Critter Country, Frontierland, Mickey’s Toontown, and New Orleans Square.
